  • Slovenia, Strunjan -Travel Information
    Slovenia, Strunjan -Travel information- Basic facts about Slovenia State / Democratic parliamentary republic since 25 June 1991, Member of the EU since 1 May 2004 Capital / Ljubljana, 270.000 inhabitants Official Language / Slovene, in some nationally mixed border areas also Italian and Hungarian Inhabitants / 2 mio. Currency / EUR Size / 20.273 km Length of borders / 1,370 km: with Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia Length of coastline / 46,6 km Highest mountain / Triglav 2.864 m Longest river / Sava 221 km The city of Koper lies in the South-West Slovenia on the Adriatic coast, only 20 km South of Trieste, Italy and about 30 km North of Croatian border. Besides Koper, there are other three important towns along the Slovenian coast, Izola, Piran and Portorož. Strunjan (Italian: Strugnano) is a settlement and bay stretching along the Slovenian coast between Izola and Piran. Formed in the valley of the river Roja, encompassing the salt pans and the nearby hills. This part of the coast was proclaimed a nature reserve in the 1990. On its small surface we can find the highest flysch cliffs, the longest portion of natural coast in the bay of Trieste, the only Slovenian marine lagoon, the smallest Mediterranean salt pans and a very well preserved cultural landscape. Strunjan successfully defies the excessive urbanization, which has spread to most of the Slovenian coast. The longest part of natural sea shore in Slovenia, protected as a nature park, is located between Strunjan and Izola. General information The nearest International is the Trieste Airport, Italy (Ronchi - 62 km away from Koper).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA Slovenian Coast is situated at the far northern end of the Mediterranean, along the Gulf of Trieste, which is the northernmost part of the Adriatic Sea. The gulf has an approximate surface area slightly less than 600 km2 and sea volume of about 9.5 km3. It is a shallow marine basin, with maximum depths in its central part 20-25 m and average depth of 17 m, situated at the junction of the Dinaric Alps and the Alps. The Slovenian coast is only 46 km long, which is only one thousandth of the entire Mediterranean coastline. The aquatorium itself is formed in two bays, the Bay of Koper and the Bay of Piran, which are wide submerged valleys of rivers the Rizana and the Dragonja. The whole coastal area is divided into three municipalities, namely, Koper, Izola and Piran, and managed by one water-management authority, the Ministry of the Environment, Spatial Planning and Energy, Regional Unit Koper. Fig.1: Main sea current in the Gulf of Trieste (Source: Bricelj, 2002). 2 EUROSION Case Study Fig. 2: River system on the Coast of Slovenia. 1.1 Physical process level 1.1.1 Classification Slovenian Coast is highly varied, with stretches falling into several types according to coastal typology.

  • INTRODUCTION the White Paper on the Border Between Slovenia And
    INTRODUCTION The white paper on the border between Slovenia and Croatia was drawn up with a view to presenting to the broader public Slovenia’s positions, arguments and selection of documentary material favourable to Slovenia on resolving the maritime and land border issue. It must be taken into account that this white paper is no scientific treatise, therefore scientific critic is not expected. However, it could provide a sound foundation and basis for additional scientific argumentation of Slovenia's positions. Today, this is insufficient, particularly when compared with Croatia’s treatises and argumentations that serve as a basis for Croatia’s positions. If the white paper triggers critical and expertly (not only politically!) founded debate on the issue of the border between Slovenia and Croatia, then its objective will be reached. The publication of the white paper is an open invitation to those who may in any way wish to contribute to it. The publication of the white paper will be interpreted by some people as an early show of Slovenia’s weapons. Those may be satisfied that the white paper contains nothing that in one way or another, has not already been presented in public (and thus also to the Croatian side). Understandably, Slovenia has not disclosed all arguments yet. We would also like to underscore the following: The white paper is no scientific paper. No more is it a complete collection of Slovenia’s positions and documents. Therefore the white paper does not deal with some very interesting and demanding issues (e.g. historic bays, the uti possidetis principle, the comprehensive resolution of the border issue).
